• Comparison of Two Kenda Tire and Wheel Combos Part # AM30670 and # AM30790
  Both tires # AM30670 and # AM30790 are Kenda tires but there are a number of differences. For starters they're different sized tires.

• What is the Cold Inflation Pressure of a Loadstar 4.80-12 Tire
  In order to determine the specific cold inflation pressure of your tires, I will need to know the load rating of the tire. The load rating or load range designation should be stamped on the tire. We carry two Loadstar 4.80-12 tires, a load range C tire, # AM10062, and a load range B tire, # AM10060. The inflation pressure will be different based on the load rating. The load range C tire can support a maximum load of 990 lbs at 90 psi and the load range B tire can support 785 lbs at 60...

• Recommended Axle With 5 On 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern Idler Hubs And Wheels
  I contacted Harbor Freight's tech services line regarding your Haul Master Trailer. Your trailer may have an odd size axle, so the industry standard size parts would not be compatible. Their tech services can't give me the information to help you, so I would need you to pull your hub and give me the bearing number on it for me to tell you if we can change the hubs out for 5 lug or not.

• Motorcycle Trailer Tire Air Pressure Required
  If your motorcycle trailer has ST (special trailer) tires, then they are made to be run at the max psi. If they do not have this ST distinction, then you most likely can run them at a slightly lower tire pressure. I recommend confirming with the manufacturer of your tires as we don't carry any tires that size. I wouldn't go with anyone else's advice as it could be a safety issue for you and/or others.

• Availability of a Size 4.80-12 Tire with a Speed Rating Higher than 65 MPH
  Typically special trailer tires are usually rated to operate at a maximum speed of 65 mph and if you exceed 65 mph, heat could build up in the tire and cause it to break down and fail. The tire I recommend for your 4.80-12 size is the Kenda # AM10062 because it was designed for excellent handling at high speeds even though the speed rating is 65 mph. The load rating is 990 pounds at 90 psi. I included a couple informative articles for you too.

• What is the Air Pressure Rating for a 4.80-12 Load Range C Trailer Tire
  Trailer tires should always be inflated to the maximum psi indicated on the tire. For a 4.80-12 load range C such as # AM10062, it should be inflated to 90 psi. The reason you inflate trailer tires to the maximum psi is because trailer tires are constructed with a thicker sidewall to handle more vertical load compared to passenger vehicle tires. If under inflated the thicker sidewall will lead to excessive heat build up and tire failure. I have included a link to our help article on trailer...

• Which is Better for Trailer Tire Size 4.80-12 a Radial or a Bias Ply
  Hey John, the better tire construction for you will depend on what roads you plan to travel on basically. If it will be a lot of paved roads the radial wins hands down or if instead it's off road then the sidewall of a bias ply would be your best option. The part # AM10062 is a bias ply and the part # TT48012C is a radial. What type of roads will you be on?

• Recommended Tires For Malone Microsport With Two Fishing Kayaks
  Trailer tires should always be inflated to their max capacity. This helps with load carrying capability but also for heat dissipation and wear. With your tires at 60 lbs, you will have your tires getting too hot and wear too fast as well as decreased traction even with more road contact. My recommendation is to go back to your 4.8-12 tires because you don't need the additional width. The load range isn't the issue, but you won't have any issue with that either for this application....

• Switching From 4.80-8 to 4.80-12 Trailer Wheels and Tires With a 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern

The wheel that comes on the set above is lug piloted and will center...

• Replacement Tire Recommendations for a Double Jet Ski Trailer with 4.8 by 12 Tires
  The first suggestion I have is for you to not exceed 65 miles per hour when towing your trailer. I wish there was something I could recommend that would allow you to tow faster than that, but unless stated otherwise trailer tires are limited to only going 65 miles per hour and need to be inflated to their maximum psi. For what you are trying to do I would just stick with the size you currently have on your trailer, going to a bigger size would not allow you to go any faster and you know...

• Is 4.80-12 Radial or Bias Trailer Tire Better
  It depends on the application, but for the majority of people, a radial 4.80-12 trailer tire is going to be better than a bias 4.80-12 trailer tire. The reason for that is bias tires have cords which run diagonally while radial tires have cords that run from side-to-side. What this does is result in radial tires flexing more, running cooler (which means they last longer), and providing better road traction. The stiffness of a bias tire though means it is better able to handle the uneven,...

• Can a 4.80-12 Tire Be Upgraded to a Larger and Higher Capacity Tire
  There's no reason you couldn't upgrade your 4.80-12 Load Range B tires with Load Range C's like the part # AM10062. These would fit the exact same as your current tire with the only difference being that they have a higher Load Range. You could also go with a 5.30-12 like the part # AM10068 as long as you have room for a tire that is just a tiny bit taller and wider. This tire is 5.5 inches wide and 21.9 inches tall, whereas the 4.8-12s are 4.9 inches wide and 20.7 inches tall.

Make sure you choose a wheel with the same bolt pattern as your trailer hub or as your previous wheels. I have also attached a help article on how to determine your bolt pattern for you to check out.
